AI Summary:
The joint patrol and air-intercept drills over the disputed Scarborough Shoal off the northwestern Philippines were the first by the longtime treaty allies since Donald Trump took office again. Trump’s foreign policy thrust has sparked concerns among Washington’s allies in Asia about the scale and depth of U.S. Commitment to the region in his new term. Air Force B-1 bomber aircraft and three Philippine Air Force FA-50 fighter jets joined the brief patrol. It was not immediately known if the joint patrol encountered any challenge from Chinese forces guarding the Scarborough Shoal. In August last year, two Chinese air force aircraft flew close then fired flares in the path of a Philippine air force plane. China and the Philippines have had increasingly alarming faceoffs in the shoal. The U.S. Military has reported encountering such dangerous maneuvers by Chinese air force planes. China says these have endangered regional security.
